St. John’s books are wonderful! She was a very devout Christian and could weave a wonderful story.
Jan Bloom lists her as a “Top Author” and writes about her:
“When Patricia was seven years old, her mother took the children to Switzerland for a year to learn French. Patricia’s book, Treasures of the Snow, is based on her memories of this time. Years later, when a movie of the story was in the works, the village council turned down the request of the film company to film there because a prior motion-picture company had left a mess. They reconsidered and welcomed the film crew when they learned it was for Patricia’s story. They still remembered Patricia’s wonderful mother and her delightful family.
Patricia became a teacher, and taught at a school in Wales but felt called to serve God as a missionary. She became a nurse and spent over twenty-five years in various Middle-Eastern countries. She established a training school for nurses in Morocco. She wrote whenever she could. Her stories are well-written, interesting, full of emotion, spiritual honesty, and solid theology.”
